NEW YORK.
Great Triumph for Democracy
Victories All Round.
New YORK, November 8.-A large
number OF arrests are being made fol
illegal voting, but no trouble has YET
occurred at any of the polling places.
Rumors of trading off the State ticket
by both Democrats and Republicans,
in favor of either Fellows or Nicoll,
are plentiful. The fight over the Dis
trict Attorneyship is overshadowing
every other question, and both sides
are confident.
The George vote in the city is
smaller than was anticipated.
GENERAL INDICATIONS.
Advices from the State show that
that the Democrats and Republicans
are getting out all their voters, and
that the lines are tightly drawn. In
dications are that the Prohibitionists
will pole larger vote than last year,
while the George vote outside of New
York City will be insignificant.
The Democrats now express conf
dence in getting majority of from
5000 to 5000, while many Republicans
concede the city by smaller major
ity. So far meagre intelligence from
counties indicates a quiet election.
BETTING AT THE POLLS.
In New York business is entirely
suspended. Crowds surround all the
voting places in the city. and tre-
mondous vote is being polled. Inter-
est is centered in the fight between
Fellows and Nicoll for District Atttor-
ney, and the betting this morning is
lively. Odds range from to 4 on
Fellows to even. Reports from
throughout the State indicate a large
vote.

NEWSPAPER BULLETINS.
A Herald bulletin says: New York
State has gone Democratic by from
10, 900 to Is 900 majority. The San
says: The George vote will not reach
60, 900 in New York State.
A GOOD LEAD.
From returns received up to 2
O'Clock this morning the New York
State Democratic ticket has been elect
ed by majority ranging from 5000 to
5000 majority. This is owing in
great part to the strength developed
by the Democrats in New York and
Kings Counties, where Cook, for
Secretary of State. polled $4,000 more
votes than Grant, the Republican
candidate. The latest returns show
Grant to be leading outside of the two
counties, but the majority does not
offset that below High Bridge.
SOME SURPRISES.
One of the political surprises was
the great cut in the Henry George
vote, who received only "a 900 against
6S 900 last year. Another striking
feature is the increased strength shown
by the Prohibitionists.
FELLOWS VICTORIOUS.
John r. Fellows was elected District
Attorney over Nicoll, which was one
of the great local features of the fight
in New York city.
THE REPUBLICANS EXPLAIN
Their local defeat by saying that the
Republicans who went for George
last year have stood by him, while
the Democrats have gone back to
their party.
WHAT FELLOWS WON BY.
The complete vote for District At
torney is; Nicolls, 1904; Fellows,
93 ,906; Pot, 30,665.
INTENSE INTEREST MANIFESTED.
The interest shown by the public at
the elections is only equalled by the
pre- iiential year At the re-
spective headquarters in front of the
newspaper offices, around the tickers
and wherev' any Information as to
the result could be cleaned, great
crowds gathered, and cheered as news
that pleased them came in. Madiso n
Square was litera ly packed with peo-
pie, who z zed for hours at the public
stereoptican that published the figures
and Newspaper Row was next to inn
passable. At the Republican head
quarters they gave up the local contes
